Sos

Somber clouds prelude the inner and outer storm
Unleashed by the fury contained for a long time 
Suddenly trapping mind of shallop's captain
Fighting with zest the tides that menaced to sink
Dreams nurtured for years with illusions and hope
Sending a SOS message to save the souls that sail
Searching for the light that illuminate their paths 

Gust winds howled as a wolf in prey hunting 
Eerily announcing the feared ending of sailors 
Praying to be saved and promising to change 
Leaving behind unconfessable acts hidden
When the sign of lighthouse guided the captain
Arriving to a safe haven in the middle of the night
Celebrating a new opportunity to live in the light
